The Brutal[ly Funny] Truth About Iraq

| 7 Comments

Here's a video showing the harsh reality of the Iraqi insurgency. Well, not really, but it's funny.

That was Pythonesque. Brilliant!

A thing of beauty (and a good laugh,) is a joy forever.

It would be funny, if it were true. It is not. These scumbags have killed or maimed tens of thousands of American service members. Nothing funny about it.

Subtitling jokes are always funny. (Hey, you try subtitling something, you'll come to welcome some humor to relieve the tedium too!)

PC, we'll win a faster and more certain victory when they are seen to be ridiculous than while we think they are frightening.

A.L.

I do not find them frightening. I am not the one pushing fear, hatred and intimidation. I am not the one invoking 9/11 and the "terroists who want to kill us" everytime I speak in front of the nation.
I do find them to be a serious threat to our troops, which they are. "Finding them funny" is not going to win it for us A.L. A good plan will.

A.L.:

I think Instapundit linked to this back in December. Hilarious, though. We can laugh. They can't.

Incidentally, my Jordanian roommate told me that one of the most popular shows in Jordan is the Gong Show (reruns). People don't laugh though. It's unseemly to laugh so they just sit stoically watching (giggling uncontrollably inside, I'm sure).

Go Patriots! (Fat chance against UConn, I know, but miracles happen sometimes.)

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

*This* puts text in bold.

_This_ puts text in italics.

bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
